I have a similar setup, ni heater tho just internal filter. Did maybe 1 waterchange in 3 years. Not very good looking since everything inside is caught when i was at sea, but the fish look healthy and are growing.

You can put the anemone in a plastic basket and use aqua magnets to attach it to the glass and to keep it enclosed. The clowns will nest something else, if you worry about those buddies.

I would add the firefish before the other clown cuz when they pair up pry gonna try and kill any other fish you add in a tank that small. Also gas bubbles aren’t good because they can build up then release a bunch at a time and can cause a tank crash. You want things like a conch some nassarius snails and or a sand sifting star to help stir the sand bed

Thanks for the comment Alex! You’re right, I think I will add the firefish before the 2nd clown. Also, I have heard that the gas bubbles releasing all at once could cause a crash.

Hello, thanks for the great video! Recently I setup a similar tank so I really was able to relate to this info and your tank. My 75 gallon is 1 week old with 1 green severum, 1 spotted gold severum, 2 topajos and 2 blue acaras. So far, all ok. My local fish store setup my canister filter with bacteria which was done to jump start the cycling/ nitrogen process. I appreciate your comments on tank size. I really was trying to avoid getting another larger tank down the road but time will tell. My fish are about 1.75 - 2 inches. Thanks again!

Hey thanks for the support I appreciate it! That sounds like a great tank:) Adding bacteria to the canister filter is a good move! As long as aggression stays down in your tank you shouldn’t have to upgrade for a while or maybe even at all. A 75 Gallon could be enough, just after a year or two keep an eye on aggression:) thanks again for the comment!

@@florenti1119 6 months is still relatively “young” for a reef tank. It’s still cycling so any algae or anything growing is pretty normal. You’re right about water changes replenishing trace elements, more water changes definitely won’t hurt anything. I would say start with every other week and see how the tank reacts before jumping to once a month. Also, try and run your lights for only 8 hours if you can, that will help with the brown stuff for sure! But being patient is most important!
